Don't be afraid, just believe (Luke 8dq)  

Luke 8:40-56 *
Key verse 50

1.      [40-42] As Jesus came back from the Gerasenes, who sought Jesus out? (41) How? What particular request did he make? (41) Why?  (42) What did Jesus do for his plea? (42b)

2.      [43-46] What did a woman do? (44) Why? (43) What happened to her then? (44) What question did Jesus ask the crowd? (45) What was Peter’s answer? (45b, ref. 42b) Whom was Jesus looking for? Why? (46)

3.      [47- 48] What did the woman do then? (47b) Why? (47a) What did Jesus say to her? (48) What was her faith about? What does it mean that ‘your faith has healed you’?  Why do you think Jesus sought  this woman out?

4.      [49-50] What might have gone through Jairus’ mind during this time? What news did Jairus hear about his daughter? (49)  What had Jairus’ faith been and how did this news affect him? (ref. 41) What did Jesus say to Jairus? (50) What faith did Jesus expect Jairus to have? 

5.      [51-53] Whom did Jesus take  with him to the house?  (51) What was the situation when they arrived at Jairus’ house? (52) What did Jesus say to the funeral guests? (52b) How did they take Jesus’ word? (53)

6.      [54-56] What did Jesus say and do to the girl? (54) What happened to her then? (55a) What did Jesus tell her parents?  (55b) What was her parents’ response to this miracle? In what respect were Jairus’ faith and the healed woman’s faith similar? What faith did Jesus want them to have? (In what way did these two people’s faith fall short of Jesus’ expectation? How did Jesus handle this?)
